Hawaiian Spotted Toby
The guide books says these little fish are aggressive to other fish, but can't do much to swimmers. The aggressive nature is why they are easy to see for snorkelers. Species: Canthigaster jactator (whitespotted toby)

Helen With AShell
I believe this is a Tiger cowrie. I found it on the bottom wedged between two rocks. It was wedged in so well I had to use both hands to pull it out. Once we got to the surface we figured out it was still live (something in the shell) so it went back in the ocean. Another couple pulled up another example and it was much heavier for the same size - I think our example was slowly starving.

We are at the second site just playing around. You can see Chris has a little snorkel that he borrowed from the Day-Off cruise. John Harvey Photo > John Harvey Photo - Scuba Diving > Mexico Trip, Top 20 Pictures > Mexico Trip, Pictures from Water > Chris

School Swimming By
These schools were pretty skitterish, you chase them and they sped off. The bright yellow tails just disolve into the mirk as they swim away. John Harvey Photo > John Harvey Photo - Scuba Diving > Mexico Trip, Top 20 Pictures > Mexico Trip, Pictures from Water > School Swimming By

Go Mark go! His bright orange top to the snorkel shows the film can record bright bits but it doesn't do justice to the rest of the scene. John Harvey Photo > John Harvey Photo - Scuba Diving > Mexico Trip, Top 20 Pictures > Mexico Trip, Pictures from Water > Mark
